Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has praised Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen after their Sunday night divisional playoff game, where the Bills edged out the Ravens. The two quarterbacks have been compared since their 2018 NFL Draft class and have been in a heated MVP award standoff all season.
Despite their competitive nature, Jackson expressed his admiration for Allen’s performance, saying he wants to see him succeed. The two met on the field after the game, with Jackson telling Allen to “Go win something.” Jackson did not care whether that something was an MVP or a Lombardi Trophy, and instead just wanted Allen to get his due.
Jackson’s sportsmanship is on full display, as he has consistently shown respect for his peers. The Ravens quarterback acknowledged that greatness recognizes greatness, and wants to push Allen to elevate his game to stay competitive. With the two quarterbacks coming from the same draft class, their careers have been closely tied since the beginning. Now, with both teams in the playoffs, their rivalry will only continue to intensify.
